Former ER actor rumoured to be up against ex co-star Noah Wyle to portray deceased Apple CEO.
There's no such thing as resting in peace when it comes to Hollywood.
Sony Pictures has secured the rights to make a biopic of Jobs' life and, according to Digital Spy, former ER co-stars George Clooney and Noah Wyle are both prime contenders to play him.
Clooney has the larger CV having played Fantastic Mr. Fox, Batman and more recently a US senator.
However, Wyle has played Jobs before in a 1999 TV movie and was invited to meet him at a Macworld Expo followed by a dinner date.
Of the Jobs encounter, Wyle told Fortune magazine: "He (Jobs) took his napkin and started sketching out the schematics and he passed the napkin around the table. The cheque soon came and we started to get up the leave - and the napkin just sat there on the table.

"I thought to myself, 'I got to take that napkin', and my hand was on it, but Steve called from the door and asked, 'Noah, you want to share a cab with me?' So I put the napkin down. I could have had an Edison original."
